This question has been stuck in my mind for quite a while…
Lets say one day im supposed to lift and go do sprints. So in the morning I go sprint and at night im supposed to lift. Do I take Surge after both workouts since its said you should take it after endurance exercise also?
My second question is if alcohol consumption is really bad for an athlete? I heard it decreases your strength, power, endurance and dehydrates you. I was doing real well with WSSB 2 and then last weekend I drank Friday and Saturday and came back this week not being able to squat what I did last week or bench. Thoughts?
-thanks a lot
Your Surge consumption depends on your caloric needs. If the calories in two servings/day cause a gain in fat I would either 1) use it after the weight training, or 2) split the dose in half and use after both sessions (you could likely get away with a bit more than half each workout).
Alcohol is my personal “Achilles Heel”. I have a very high tolerance for it and tend to need it for social lubrication. Despite my good diet and intense training it has often slowed or halted my progress. It problems:
-
Your body considers it a poison and forgets about everything else (like building muscle) until it’s filtered out.
-
Your liver and kidneys have better things to do.
-
Hangovers often last longer than you think and have a negative impact on your next training session.
-
Dehydration.
-
Adrenal stress.

An occasional glass of wine with dinner is actually good for you. A occasional night out with the boys is almost unavoidable (assuming you have a social life). As with many things in life, moderation is key.
First question: I think it would be fine, because you are splitting the training sessions, so I wouldn’t see a problem with it.
Second question: You answered your own question.
